Book Reviews of Medicine for the Backcountry
Book Review: Good As Far As It Goes
Summary: 3 Stars
The authors are EMT's and have had wilderness experience. The book is similar to a number of other books on basic wilderness first aid but is lacking in at least a couple of areas. Various ways of making an improvised stretcher (litter) were not covered. Getting help and communicating with SAR is not covered. What is covered is all patient assessment and standard first aid as is protocol for EMT's. I was disappointed there wasn't more application to wilderness situations. "Medicine for the Outdoors" by Paul s. Auerbach is far more complete and deals better with the harsh realities you face with medical issues in the wilderness. I gave it 3 stars instead of 2 because it might be a starting place for someone with little experience in first aid. I would also like to see these types of books talk about prevention, at very least as an introduction to the topic.
Summary of Medicine for the Backcountry
Directed at the layperson, this superbly useful book on wilderness medicine makes a fairly complicated subject easy to understand.
